Essential Electromyography - Jarratt, John A.

. .

Résumé :
A well-illustrated guide to the principles underlying electromyography and nerve conduction studies, accompanied by clinical examples. Aimed at trainees in clinical neurophysiology as well as clinicians in referring specialties such as neurology, orthopaedic surgery and rheumatology to aid their patient selection and interpretation of results--

Biographie:
John A. Jarratt is a retired Consultant Clinical Neurophysiologist to the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Dr Jarratt is also Past President of the Association of British Clinical Neurophysiologists. He has over 25 years' experience in teaching clinical neurophysiology.
